The 2 Ditillo books are great reading. I would consider them essential for the strength trainee.

I know you said you already have it, but Arnold's book is just plain epic.

Starting Strength by Marc Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore is excellent for exercise description. Practical Programming by the same authors is a good read.

5/3/1 by Jim Wendler is a really good read.

Brawn by Stuart McRobert is pretty good.

Beyond Bodybuilding and Power to the People by Pavel are good.
